That means, the visibility graphics overrides of the view should not be hiding the scope box. However, in order to select it, the current view has to display it. This is an extremely well thought out product that both our production and digital screening divisions can make good use of. You can select it, and just press the DEL key to delete it. Picture and accompanying audio where fantastic and the V3HD fit comfortably and seamlessly into our workflow. A good sign that this is a company committed to high standards and customer service.
#Scopebox software update#
In short order MOTU contacted me with a new firmware update that resolved it. There was no wait time and the technician was helpful and knowledgeable. We had one minor time code issue and called MOTU tech support. We also tested the unit with Divergent Media's Scopebox software on the Mac, and it interfaced very well.įor such a brand new product I was pleased with how well the hardware and software behaved. For our recordings we used Final Cut Pro 5.1.4, and the provided V3HD Easy Setups within Final Cut made the process easy.
#Scopebox software manual#
At first we used manual settings to control the box, and everything was straightforward. There's a wealth of information provided on the front of the V3HD and in the product's software interface, and I soon felt comfortable with the process. Input to the V3HD was via SDI and HD-SDI with embedded audio, while time code was brought in via the unit's LTC connection. In both cases we used a G4 PowerBook and external SATA drives. "We recently had the opportunity to try out the new V3HD FireWire video interface while preparing for several remote broadcasts, one in standard definition NTSC, and another in 1080i60 high definition. And I have to tell you, as far a gear goes, the V3HD shows well to clients - it looks like a hi-tech piece that belongs in a pro edit bay." The V3HD actually helped bridge all our concerns about moving to Final Cut Pro. All former Media100 users are in a similar pickle about where to go.
#Scopebox software upgrade#
It has the upgrade path for HD, yet performs well for our current SD needs. And it is small enough to be portable for remote productions. Add framing guides and overlays to make sure that your shot works out exactly the way you expect. You get all the settings youd expect to find on a high-end field monitor, plus some software-only extras like focus assist and zebras. The workflow ease of the V3 makes it a no-brainer. ScopeBox gives you a high quality, highly flexible preview monitor. So we purchased a V3HD and absolutely love it. We don't own any HD stuff yet, but it looks like we will land a multi-camera project next spring for a pharmaceutical client, and the V3HD seemed like it would be a perfect fit for the post end. But the lack of a good, versatile SD/HD break-out box was a major hold up. But we weren't happy with the performance and I/O options for the latest Media100 systems, so we were looking closely at changing them over to Final Cut. We have two Final Cut systems and three Media100 systems. "We are a small boutique video production shop.
